I don't think a 500x500 mm glass build plate is a smart idea for a bedslinger. It's a LOT of weight to sling back and forth. You would end up with a lot of ringing in your prints due to the resonant vibrations. A comparable printer is the Elegoo Neptune 3 Max which in my opinion is still huge, has more features, and retails for $475.
This is 100% not a starter printer (nor is the Elegoo N3Max). This will not be plug and play. If you want something that's considered a little more plug and play consider Bambu Lab P1P or X1C. You'll pay much more but you will be on the cutting edge of consumer 3D print technology.
(For reference, I have a CR-10S that I've modded to death and absolutely love it....but I bought it for $100 after OG bought it and ended up having trouble with it.)

The neptune 3 max has a build volume of 420x420x500, while the s5 in the OP is 500x500x500.
Now whether you even want to go with something that big is a different story...

These machines are for the tinker crowd. Don't expect it to print perfect outta the box.
Ender 3 is good for small stuff this is better for things the size of a shoe or bike helmet
This is corroborated by the other comment above regarding uneven bed heating. Having so little wire stretched across the bed is going to leave unheated gaps between the element lines, leading to hot and cold spots.

haven't touched it in quite a while, we redid our office and it just never made its way back in... i really don't have the time to tinker these days unfortunately. that Bambu P1P sure seems like it removes a lot of that and just kinda prints, and on the plus side, doesn't cost >1,000$

On a side note. I'm not trashing the Ender 3. It's was the cheapest printer available at the time 5 years ago. It was a good way to dip your toe into printing on a budget and had an army of "support" by people who also bought it. Not from Creality ever. I learned what I wanted out of a printer because the Ender 3 was so basic and lacking in features. But the industry has moved on to better products. Creality S1 Pro/Plus is pretty decent and has many of the bells and whistles I would want from a bed slinger printer. It's just Creality as a company is not very responsive if you have issues. So I went with Elegoo and never looked back.

the CR-10S was fun to learn on, fun to upgrade, fun and rewarding to get solid stuff made on it... but it just became a chore that i couldn't keep up with, too many other things going on. i'm also not a big open-source and crowd built guy, most of that crap just kinda works and becomes annoying to keep working... setting up Octoprint on a Pi for the CR-10S, with a dedicated screen on the printer and camera was fun for sure. but eh, nowadays i just want something that works.
i'll make sure i write back and let you know how it's going, back in stock early next month.
